Gastroscopy (2)
4. During the Gastroscopy, what do I need to cooperate for making procedure go smooth?
Firstly, doctor will give the anesthetic throat spray for local anesthesia. If necessary, relaxants or painkillers may be given intravenously to relieve the patient anxiety or stress. Patients should follow the doctor advice and gradually swallow the slender endoscope. Meanwhile, patient is able to breathe as usual. If keeping relax and cooperate, the whole procedure can be completed in minutes. Doctor can also get biopsy or specimen from the patient's stomach for laboratory test. Patient will not feel the pain under this process. Also for some other cases, doctor can treat the bleeding site in case it is found during the endoscopy.
5. After Gastroscopy, any follow-up or points to note for patients?
The throat anesthesia will last for about an hour after the endoscopy examination. Do not do the mouthwash immediately. Allow to drink or eat after at least 1 hour or doctor assessment. If patient has under the relaxant injection, he/she will forget some examination memory, so it is advised they should be accompanied by relatives or friends, to listen to the preliminary examination report and take care of patient when going home.
